One RSU award will have a target value of $110,000 and will vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the Outside Director’s continuing service, on each anniversary of the date of grant.

| 2. | Each RSU will be settled by issuing one share of the Company’s Common Stock following vesting, unless a deferral program is implemented. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. | All equity awards will fully vest upon the earlier of (i) the death or permanent disability of such Outside Director, each as defined in the forms of RSU agreement adopted by the Board, and (ii) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) before the Outside Director’s service terminates. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 4. | All equity awards will be subject to the forms of RSU agreement adopted by the Board for use under the Plan consistent with the foregoing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
